What is Hair Drug Testing
Hair drug testing is a non-invasive, lab-based method of testing that detects drug use over a 90-day period. Unlike urine or saliva testing, which captures recent use, hair testing provides a long-term view of an individual's substance use history. A small sample of hair, approximately 1.5-2 inches of hair is collected and analyzed for evidence of drug metabolites.
This method is ideal for: Pre-employment drug screening, Court-Ordered or Legal Testing, Child Custody and Family Law Cases, Random, Follow-up Testing, or just for personal peace of mind.

Hair testing requires a minimum of 1.5 inches from the crown of the head. A hair drug test only requires approximately 100-120 strands of hair for testing at the lab.
How fast does head hair grow?
